From Goldiwil, the Goldiwheel Flowtrail winds through the forest to Thun. Variety is provided by waves, jumps, and steep banked curves as well as natural sections with roots and loose forest floor. The highlight is the jumpline with tables up to eleven meters long. The trail is suitable for sporty people with biking experience. All elements can be ridden around or rolled over.

The Goldiwheel Trail is, alongside the Rabenfluh Trail, the second official trail in the city of Thun. In the first part, you will find a flowing line into the Geissental. Practically without pedaling, you ride over waves and skillfully move through flowing curves. After a short section along the road, you reach a fat jumpline with an eleven-meter-long table at the last jump. Don't worry, the line starts with three to four meter tables and all jumps are rollable and can also be ridden around. From then on, the trail is mostly hand-built and left natural. At the end, you arrive at the Lower Wart in Thun and can pedal to the shuttle within five minutes by bike.
